Filing Flight Plan
i am in college to get my a&p license and major in aviation and aerospace technology. what are the perks of having this license and owning a plane? for example would i be able to do my own annuals, overhauls etc?
As long as you stick with an "Experimental" you won't need an IA for the annual "condition" inspection.i am in college to get my a&p license and major in aviation and aerospace technology. what are the perks of having this license and owning a plane? for example would i be able to do my own annuals, overhauls etc?

nice....Being the smartest guy on the internet.

He said he's getting his A&P, so that's what I focused on.If he builds the aircraft, he likely won't even need an A&P for the condition inspection.
And arguing with other like minded individuals until some jackass posts a picture of a bunny with a pancake on it's head.
Yup....his A&P privilege is showing.Don't they teach priveleges and limitations in A&P school anymore?

He's already getting his A&P.Yeah but point is if he builds an E-AB then there's potentially no need to get an A&P if that's all he wants it for, as he could apply for the repairman's certificate. Now if he were to buy an already flying E-AB then having his A&P would be helpful as he could sign off on his own condition inspections which nonbuilder owners that aren't A&Ps can't do.

Now, who would do such a thing?

Even so....if he buys an EAB he can still do the maintenance.I got that -- my and Ron's point is being an A&P is not necessarily that much of a benefit if you build as you can potentially exercise all of the same privileges as an A&P without being one. It would be a benefit if he bought an already flying E-AB aircraft.

We get it, you're an advocate for experimental. But that doesn't answer the original question. Perhaps the OP has zero interest in building. Perhaps the OP needs something larger than 90% of the experimentals out there. I completed the first part of the A&P course and never once (nor even now) considered building.Yeah but point is if he builds an E-AB then there's potentially no need to get an A&P if that's all he wants it for, as he could apply for the repairman's certificate.

But going back to the original question....I know the A&P can do all work (other than repairing avionics) but can an IA sign off on their personal airplane?
